The photo to the left of this text is of an actual sign posted at the TCY sports complex on the south edge of Borger. It was so good that I had to take a picture as I walked in.

I'll mostly let the sign speak for itself, adding only that I agree with each point it makes. I have been a player, coach and official in local youth sports. It's hard sometimes to keep in perspective what's happening out on those fields: Kids learning life lessons about teamwork and working hard, and experiencing winning and losing.

The News Journal story said students congregated in the school's gym Tuesday morning as authorities swept the school for explosives. After none were found by 9:30 a.m., according to the report, students were allowed back to class.
